Excelente lugar para desconectar del mundo agitado y conectar con la naturaleza, sobre todo con el Rio puro de la sierra nevada

Great experience doing a guided tour to village of Tekyu within Tayrona National Park and then a day pass at hotel. Andrés, our driver and guide, was fantastic and drove us everywhere! Fascinating experience at village learning about beliefs of Kogui. Afterwards, at hotel enjoyed delicious lunch and cocktails and swimming in natural pool with waterfalls. Spectacular! Wish we could have stayed longer!

We booked only 1 night at MadreSierra to bridge the gap between our Tayrona trip and our way back to Cartagena. What a mistake - we should have stayed a week!! This is the most hidden away paradise you can imagine. Everything from the service by lovely Fernando with complimentary welcome cocktails to bringing our bags up and down to the room and turning up our jacuzzi. This was an utter surprise and delight for our tired hiking bodies. They’ve accommodated our room changes even though they didn’t have to, made us complimentary brownies when we mentioned we craved chocolate and simply have been fantastic in every regard. This place also - just wow! You have WiFi to work, amazing nature, great food, natural pools in the river and a regular pool about to be finished. The only thing you have to keep in mind is that the road to the hotel is very(!!) tricky and absolutely impossible without a 4x4. So take their offer of a pickup from the main road and just relax on your journey into paradise.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY! Zero response to phone, WhatsApp or email. They never responded with directions so we had to book elsewhere. They're now refusing to provide a refund and ignoring my attempts to get in touch.

Lieu incroyable, cabanes magnifiques La nourriture et les boissons sont excellentes Le personnel est très accueillant, à l’écoute et très serviable Il faut prévoir le transfert directement avec l’hôtel, il faut juste être organisé Nous avons hâte de revenir
